' To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that vI, PAUL DAIMLER, citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing at Untertiirllzheini, in the Kingdom of Allflirtemberg, Germany, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Gearing, of which the followingl is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. L

rThis invention relates to improvements in that type of motor fire engines, motor illuminating cars and the like in which when the car stands still the motor drives the fire engine, dynamo or the like.

rlhe object of this invention is chiefiy to transmit the power from the rst shaft of the speed changing mechanism to the pump or dynamo or the like shaft in a more advantageous manner than hitherto has been the case and to permit of connecting the pump, dynamo or the like without the necessity of first stopping the car motor. i attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which latter represents a vertical section of the speed changing gear.

aA is the uppermost or first shaft of the speed changing mechanism in alinement with the motor shaft and driven in the usual manner from the^motor shaft by means of the friction coupling 7c arranged on the fly wheel. Below this uppermost or first is situated the second shaft b driven from the shaft a at variable speeds and which imparts motion to a third shaft o which drives the front wheels and the back wheels of the vehicle.

rhe shaft c carrying the dynamo armature or the like is mounted in alnement with the to shaft a of the saeed changing mechanism so as to permit of connecting them together by a clutch coupling, the employment of which at one end of the shaft a being facilitated vby using a ring bearing m instead of a step bearing as hitherto for taking lup the thrustv of the friction cone coupling Another advantage resulting from the arrangement described is that the third shaft o of the speed changing mechanism remains free in both directions for driving the front or back wheel of the car.

In orderto permit of throwing into engagement the coupling (Z between the dynamo or the like shaft c and the first shaf a of the speed changing mechanism, the l ter is first moved nto its middle, so that the respective bottom slv f pletelydisengag anP the top shaf rotated by the friction'coupHl g 7e is then slightly disengaged .-1, :hf a still rotates a little and at ie i time the clutch coupling d thrown into engagement. if the members of the friction coupling ,7c are then again thrown into operative position,I the pump, dynamo or the like shaft c is driven through the medium of the shaft and the coupling al by the friction coupling 7c mounted on the main shaft of the motor, without the necessity of first stopping the motor. c

lt claim:

in a motor vehicle, a speed changing mechanism comprising a first and a second shaft, a shaft arranged in alinement with the first shaft of the speed changing mechanism for driving a machine mounted on the said vehicle, a clutch coupling between the adjacent ends of the said. shafts for connecting them together', and a third shaft situated below the second shaft of the speed changing mechanism,the said third shaft extending in loothdirections,I gear wheels on the said motion sliaftswforvtransmitting rotary mot-ion from the lirst'to the second and from the latter td the third motion shaft, all. combined substantially as and for the purpose set forthU In testimony whereof Il hereunto affix 'my -signature inpresence of two witnesses.
